Discover Hong Kong’s intangible cultural heritage through hands-on workshops that connect students with master artisans, traditional skills, and living history.
Step into Hong Kong’s living traditions with our Intangible Cultural Heritage workshops. Guided by seasoned artisans, students experience the joy of making with their own hands – from embroidery and knotting to lantern-making and sugar blowing. Each activity links traditional craftsmanship to its cultural roots and modern relevance, inspiring creativity while deepening appreciation for heritage. These interactive sessions not only develop practical skills, but also spark reflection on the importance of preserving cultural identity in today’s fast-changing world.
Hong Kong’s intangible cultural heritage is more than craft – it is memory, identity, and creativity passed down through generations. Our Traditional Craftsmanship Workshops give students the rare opportunity to learn directly from master artisans, immersing themselves in the making process and the cultural stories behind each skill. By practicing these crafts, students explore how tradition adapts in modern society, developing both critical thinking and creative expression. Hands-on experiences foster appreciation, curiosity, and respect, helping students reflect on the role of heritage in shaping values, community, and cultural continuity in an interconnected world.
